Synopsis
An original/exploratory series — Dreaming of the Sound of Waves (Exile of Longing Edition), part of an overseas promotion plan.
A centaur, a prehistoric creature that is half-human, half-horse and immortal, is consumed by guilt after being powerless to stop the extinction of its own kind by humans. The centaur wanders the earth, hiding from the world by day and emerging at night, yet never able to return to its homeland. Watching other ancient species gradually disappear, it wages a fierce internal conflict between its 'human' and 'horse' selves every day.
Hello, we are Ka Man, Ah Kwai, and Bruce. This is a reimagined presentation of Dreaming of the Sound of Waves. We present one classical guitar, six strings, three souls and bodies, and an ancient yet eternally recurring story.
Faint light drifts through space, interacting with time—emerging, pulling, exiling, dancing, shedding, celebrating.
(*Premiered in 2023, adapted from José Saramago's famous novel The Centaur).
